Chapter 147: I took responsibility and shed blood for the emperor’s grandson
In Yingtian City, inside the Imperial City.
All the ministers shouted to congratulate the great Ming Dynasty.
This is the glory that belongs to the Ming Dynasty, which restored the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. It is the pride that has reshaped the backbone of the Han family since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
It was the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that were destroyed at the hands of Shi Jingtang; it was the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties that ignored the north, and the two emperors were imprisoned by foreigners; it was the one hundred thousand scholars who threw themselves into the sea, and millions of subjects died for the country; it was the thieves of the Yuan Dynasty who stole the central government for a hundred years,
The fourth class of the Han family, the vicissitudes of the Central Plains, and the corpses everywhere.
The propaganda that the Han family once again stands at the top of the world.
This is the declaration of submission by the Han family to the Central Plains, which has once again dominated the heaven and earth for thousands of years.
In Yingtian City, outside the Imperial City.
The people parading in the street all looked east when they heard the sound.
In that center, there is this rising empire, which is announcing to the world step by step that the country of the Han family in the Central Plains will definitely shock the ambitions and lofty ideals of all the nations in the outer regions.
And in this passionate and heroic mood that is difficult to control.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor who single-handedly founded the orthodoxy of the Central Plains and the glorious Ming Dynasty, looked indifferent.
Until the sound of the hundreds of officials calling from the mountains has reached the sky and the nine heavens.
He just raised his hand and pressed down.
All the officials suppressed their excitement and bowed to congratulate: "I congratulate the Ming army on their great victory, congratulate the border army on their victory, the Ming army is mighty, the Ming Dynasty is mighty, Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and then said with a pitiful expression: "We are happy that the armies have promoted the prestige of our Ming Dynasty. The men in our army have never brought shame on our Ming Dynasty! But the men and women who go out to fight, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, always suffer losses, and we are heartbroken."
It’s endless.”
After some whispering.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at his ministers: "I have ordered King Yan to rectify the military affairs, and report the merits of the soldiers in full. How many soldiers were killed and how many were injured in the army, the number must be clear and careful.
Now, we need to know how much our sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty have paid."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War.
"The Ministry of War must be prepared, and together with the Ministry of Household Affairs, the deceased sons and daughters of our family, if there are any old or weak ones in the family, must be taken care of. The court must give death to the old people, and raise the children to adulthood. Provide money and food every ten days,
There can be no shortage. If there is a shortage and we find out about it, we will be held accountable and the crime will be unforgivable!"
"There are also those injured children. The hospital also needs to send some manpower to help them get better."
"The disabled sons and daughters can be recalled, and they can be used for military reclamation or military service. Even if they go home to farm, they cannot be stopped. The court must make it clear with the local government and take more care of these sons and daughters. The good life of the local area belongs to these sons and daughters.
I worked hard outside."
"If anyone forgets this kindness, we will ask his entire family to go to the border to kill the enemy and atone for his sins."
Officials from various ministries and departments bowed and nodded in obedience.
In recent years, the imperial court has followed old practices in providing pensions to the military and supporting local disabled veterans, and things are being done.
At least for now, no one dares to do anything inappropriate in this matter.
Seeing that all the officials were obeying the order, Zhu Yuanzhang was not very happy because of King Yan's victory. He just waved his hand lightly.
Sun Gouer on the side has been with the emperor for many years and is most familiar with the emperor's behavior and meaning.
Step forward and shout to retreat.
All the officials bowed and left.
Zhu Yunxi silently glanced at the old man leaning on the chair and frowned, as if the old man had said something less.
It was at this time that Zhu Yuanzhang also looked sideways at his good grandson.
"What are you thinking about again?"
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly stepped forward: "My grandson is not thinking about anything..."
After explaining, he looked up at the old man with a smile on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and slapped him on the head. He stood up and put his hands behind his back: "When we enter the palace, we will settle the score with your second uncle!"
Second uncle, just wish yourself well!
Zhu Yunxi silently prayed in his heart for Lao Ershu, who had been carried into the hall by Yu Tian and was not sure whether he had woken up.
But the old man's voice came over again.
"Why are you still standing there? Come here, we have to take a test to see if you have understood anything today."
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and looked at his father who was being carried back to the hall by two young men.
The prince moved his mouth silently, probably indicating that he didn't care about anything right now.
Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to follow him and secretly called out to Yu Tian, the personal valet who was working next to him.
"Second uncle, are you awake yet?"
Yu Tian rolled his eyes, and embarrassment appeared on his feminine face.
Under Zhu Yunxi's scrutiny, he spoke in a low voice: "When the slaves led people to carry His Highness King Qin into the palace, His Highness woke up, but...just...just after His Majesty dismissed the court, another news came from the palace, King Qin
Your Highness... Your Highness passed out again..."
"Pretend!"
"Keep pretending for us!"
"If you don't get up, we'll throw you from Yingtian City Wall into Xuanwu Lake and sink you!"
When Zhu Yunxi got the news, he walked into the hall with a look of helplessness.
I saw the old man standing in front of Zhu Xi, who was unconscious against the pillar, with his hands on his hips, threatening him angrily.
The prince stood aside and asked someone to serve tea. He held the tea cover in his hand and swept the tea foam in the tea cup. After the tea foam around his mouth was swept away, he took a small sip.
One bite.
Afterwards, a contented expression appeared on the prince's face, as if he had no intention of taking care of his younger brother, whom he loved so much in front of the Japanese, and who always protected him when he got into trouble.
Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Grandpa, my second uncle probably came to Beijing all the way and was tired..."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared: "Tired? He has stayed in Chuzhou for several days, and he has the nerve to say he is tired?"
Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and muttered: "How about you throw it into the Xuanwu Lake for your second uncle? Maybe he will wake up by then. I just don't know, how is my uncle's water properties?"
He thought quietly, looking forward to seeing His Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty playing in the Xuanwu Lake.
But Zhu Ping, who was leaning on the pillar and pretending to be asleep, was not happy anymore. He opened his eyes all of a sudden and shouted: "Well, you Yunxi! Before, we took care of things for you, but now you are like this
To your second uncle?"
After yelling and scolding, Zhu Xiang trembled all over, his whole body was as stiff as cast iron, his head slowly turned, and he looked at the old man with a joking face.
His legs softened and he knelt down in front of the old man with a plop.
I didn’t dare to make any more sounds for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips, looked unkindly, and looked at his troublemaking son with a groan.
"Keep pretending not to wake up!"
"Shout!"
"So what if I ask you to take on some things? Your face is thicker than the walls of Yingtian City. What are you afraid of?"
Zhu Xi was scolded like a dragon's blood, and his face was filled with helplessness. He raised his head and looked at the old man with a frustrated expression, then smiled bitterly and looked at his eldest nephew Zhu Yunxi who was blinking to the side and looked like he was watching a good show.
He complained: "You always want to make a fuss about us so that your old emperor's grandson can gain prestige among the courtiers. You have to talk to us, right?
If you behave like this, we are all afraid that those civil servants will kill your second son with their verbal abuse and writing. Next time! Next time, please tell me in advance, and I guarantee that my cooperation will be flawless!"
I took responsibility for your old grandson and shed blood! I will do better next time! You can never do this to me!
While Zhu Xi patted his chest to make sure, he did not forget to wink at his eldest nephew Zhu Yunxi.
Those eyes are really vivid.
Nephew, we really helped you today, you can’t repay kindness with enmity!
Quickly save the second uncle!
Looking at the appearance of his second uncle, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh. When he came to the old man's side, he muttered: "Grandpa, my second uncle didn't do anything wrong today. Besides, the reason why you asked my second uncle to come back this time was not because he was in the fiefdom."
What's the matter? Are you always scolding me in the wrong direction?"
Gan!
You kid is adding fuel to the fire!
Seeing that his eldest nephew was refusing to open the pot, but he still wanted to mention what he had done in Xi'an, Zhu Xi started to scold him again.
But she didn't expect that the old man would actually show a doting and kind expression in front of her, but he also pretended to be angry, and raised his hand to slap his eldest nephew on the forehead.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said: "You kid, are you just scolding your second uncle like this? I'm looking for a beating!"
This...
Zhu Xi was almost dumbfounded. He knew his old man's temperament very well.
Why is it like a different person now?
He couldn't help but look at his old man a few more times.
But he didn't want to be caught by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he put away the doting and kindness on his face, and glared so fiercely that Zhu Yuan's legs trembled with fear.
"We have told you many times that as a member of the heavenly family, we should be kind to the people. The people don't understand things and don't have much money in their pockets. Why are you bullying them?"
"They are our people, and we can be considered brothers with you. If you don't treat them sincerely, the people will turn against you and drive you out."
"You won't forget why Qian Yuan was kicked out of our family."
Hearing the old man mention Qian Yuan, Zhu Xiang trembled all over and hurriedly fell to the ground: "I dare not forget, I know I was wrong."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "It's not enough if you know you're wrong, you still have to remember to fight. Aren't you conspicuous today and did something like asking for forgiveness in front of the courtiers?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his eyes, seeming to be looking for the missing vitex tree.
After searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. The old man immediately shouted: "Come here, find the thorn sticks and send King Qin to the Ancestral Temple. Give him ten whips. If he doesn't let his skin be bruised, I will whip you!"
When Zhu Xi heard that he was going to be beaten to pieces, he was dizzy.
But the old man continued: "After the extraction, let the Imperial Hospital give medicine to King Qin, clean it up, send him to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and kneel for three days. No one is allowed to bring him food. He only needs to drink some water every day." /p>
They were beaten and punished by kneeling down.
Zhu Xiang hid outside Yingtian City for several days. He didn't expect that he would take on such a big responsibility for his eldest nephew today, but in the end he didn't do well and looked at Zhu Yunxi with pleading eyes.
Zhu Yunxi could only give a helpless expression.
The old man has already made it clear that the beating and the punishment of kneeling in the Ancestral Temple were not because of anything else, but because of the stupid things that the second uncle did to the people in the fiefdom.
This is the old man's bottom line. How can he change the old man's decision on this matter?
Not long after, someone from the palace came in, took the wattle sticks that King Qin had brought all the way to the palace today, and carried King Qin to the Ancestral Temple.
Zhu Yuanzhang drove away King Qin. He was still angry. He grunted twice and walked towards the side hall with his arms crossed.
Zhu Yunxi looked dimly at the second son Shu Qin, whose back was gradually disappearing outside the palace.
The royal family princes of the Ming Dynasty will become a big problem for the Ming Dynasty in the future. This problem has been lingering in his mind, but at the moment he has nothing to do, even if he has already made a plan.
